CUBA PRIVATE TRIPS

We want to be fully transparent with you.

We decided to offer private trips to Cuba because we were getting several emails from travelers asking for help in booking their trip. Prospective travelers were having a hard time navigating it on their own, despite spending countless hours trying to figure it out. Many would write that they couldn't be sure they were staying legally compliant, in addition to being directed back to the same generic activities while they searched. They wanted to travel "the El Camino way," but needed some personal touches because they were traveling with kids or friends or it was a special occasion and they wanted to keep it intimate, among other reasons.

While we are committed to the beauty of small group trips, at the end of the day our mission is to expose open-minded travelers to incredible places in order to strengthen local economies and help dissolve negative stereotypes in countries like Cuba. As Latin American travel experts, we know how incredible Cuba is and we're motivated to help more people experience this strong and beautiful country the El Camino way.

CUBA PRIVATE ITINERARIES

Below is our selection of private Cuba itineraries that you can now book with us directly. Every private itinerary has been designed by our Latin American founder, Katalina Mayorga, who passionately sources new experiences and is constantly on the pulse of the emerging creative economy of the country. Accommodations will be customized based on budget and interest, and all travelers will be provided a highly curated list of restaurant, shopping, and night-life recommendations direct from Katalina. Please note that the experiences listed cannot be changed. We have worked hard to curate what we think shows off the best of the city during that specific period of time. This is also how we are able to maintain accessible costs for such a highly curated experience.

The Bottom Line: We make it easy for you to have an unforgettable trip without having to sift through all the Trip Advisor and Yelp reviews. Expect the same experiences and attention to detail that we have become known for in our classic, small group trips.

STARTING AT $2,300 PER PERSON | MIN TWO PEOPLE

Since the loosening of restrictions imposed by the long enforced US - Cuba travel embargo, Havana has quickly become one of the most highly coveted destinations for travel. Spend a few hours wandering Havana's pastel colors splashed along its ornate architecture and it's easy to see why. Just 90 miles from the US coast, Cuba is unlike anything you've ever seen before. Fall in love with its soulful sounds, robust tastes and welcoming people that are the heart of this great nation.

STARTING AT $2,300 PER PERSON | MIN TWO PEOPLE

For those looking for a more diverse perspective of Cuba, consider this itinerary. This option still offers a heavy dose of Havana's magnetic charm, but also takes travelers 2-hours west of the nation's capital into rural Cuba. Enjoy a full day in the countryside, immersing yourself in Cuba's celebrated tobacco culture immediately following a traditional countryside lunch. Head back into the city of Havana to finish off the tour with a more well-rounded understanding of an alternative Cuban lifestyle.
